Health That Makes History
The Correia Rosa Pharmacies Podcast
As Correia Rosa Pharmacies celebrates its 75th anniversary, we want to continue making history with today’s key players. Healthcare professionals talking with other professionals who contribute daily to everyone’s health. An informal conversation about how to approach health, how to prevent illness, and above all, different perspectives on health that can and should complement one another. Care is in the small details, and that is what shapes our history. In health and in sickness. In physical and mental health. From our community to the world! And to you.
We hope this podcast helps you take even better care of yourself and your health and well-being.

Mental Health
Episode 6: “Anxiety and Fear: Echoes of the Same Voice”
Two emotions we’re all familiar with, but don’t always understand. Where does fear end and anxiety begin? How can we recognize the signs and take care of our emotional health?
In this episode, we talk about emotions, self-awareness, listening to your inner voice, and practical strategies for living a more balanced life.
Our General Director, Dra. Catarina Rosa Tacanho, is leading the discussion.
Mental Health
Episode 7: “The Body Doesn’t Lie: Breaking Down Barriers in Mental Health”
This time, we sat down with psychiatrist Dr. Paula Carvalho to discuss a topic that affects us all: the way our bodies tell us about our mental health.
“The body doesn’t lie” is more than just a cliché; it’s a warning to pay attention to signs we often ignore. How does the body reveal what the mind tries to hide? What barriers do we still need to break down to talk openly about emotional suffering? In this episode, we explore the intimate connection between body and mind and the importance of an integrated approach to well-being.
Our pharmacist, Inês Costa, is leading the discussion.
Children
Episode 8: “Children’s Schedules and Their Development”
The guest on this episode is Dr. Daniel Soares, a pediatrician since 1998 and the father of two daughters. In this conversation, we explore the stages of child development to understand how factors such as sleep, physical activity, play, screen time, and social media can influence the way children grow, learn, play, and interact with the world.
Our pharmacist, Ana Margarida Benedito, is leading the discussion.
Menopause
Episode 9: “The Importance of Preparing the Body and Mind for This Stage of a Woman’s Life”
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life. What it is, why it happens, and how it manifests itself are some of the many questions we’ll address in this conversation with Dr. Patrícia Nazaré, a resident in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Garcia de Orta Hospital.
In this episode, we’ll explain what happens in the body during menopause, how to relieve the most bothersome symptoms, and what care practices make a difference in your daily life.
Our General Director, Dra. Catarina Rosa Tacanho, is leading the discussion.
Coming soon
Episode 10: Mindfulness—More Than Just a Practice, It’s a Way of Life
At a time when mental health is a priority, taking a moment to stop, breathe, and be present is also a way to take care of yourself.
And to discuss this topic further, we’ve invited Olga to this episode of the “Saúde que faz História” podcast—an inspiring voice when it comes to well-being and inner balance.
With a calm demeanor and a very down-to-earth way of communicating, Olga shares with us how mindfulness can be integrated into our daily lives, even amid the busiest routines, and tells us a little about her project.
Our pharmacist, Joana Varge, is moderating the discussion.
